Video: WRX, 944 Turbo, Prelude SH - Honda Prelude Forum

po0p · 06-22-2002, 04:21 PM

WRX: exhaust, boost controller, bov, timer, etc (no passenger)

Porsche 944 Turbo: exhaust, chip, etc, owner claims to push 300hp (1 passenger)

My Prelude SH: Basic boltons, and dry 60 shot of nitrous. (1 passenger)

Thanks to Dan for taping, and Ben for the fast and wonderful hosting.

All three races had the same results after the 1/4.
I only got the first two on the video. This is also my first night out with nitrous so i'm still learning how to launch with it.

Damn, in the second race, did you let off towards the end?

The 944 walked off...

and next time rip it with sound

In the second race, the 944 just caught up. I didn't let off til he fully caught up and passed me, the 1/4 was already over by then though, if that matters.

and It's ripped with sound though - I hear them ?

I think the only notable mods are the boost controller, probably upped it to around 17? and an exhaust....this was last time i rode in it which was a year ago, not sure if he had any other new go fast mods put in it recently.

And regarding to dan asking me what i hit, I dont know what he was smoking, i didn't hit anything, there was a little dip in the road, which i guess made it feel weird?

The porsche would smoke me from a rolling start, I'd probably keep up with the WRX better from a roll though.

I am going to get an ignition with a retard control and try going 70 shot.

oh yeah, and in the first video, dan said "he kicked your ass" because the wrx was so far ahead when he turned the video around, but he didn't realize i was braking hard way before he turned around because I had to race in the center divider and needed to slow down. Oh well, whatever I guess - I thought I kept up pretty well with the wrx in the first video, got spanked in the second one though.

ZMonkey11 · 06-23-2002, 05:00 AM

ehehehehehe. Note to self, dun race WRX

Jape · 06-23-2002, 01:47 PM

this should squelch any rumors where people say a WRX is a driver's race... good try tho bro.

thewedge4 · 06-23-2002, 02:54 PM

was the 944 guy using part-throttle?

po0p · 06-23-2002, 04:33 PM

the 944 has good power, it has the potential to beat the wrx and waste me, but the driver was driving his friend's car with the friend sittin gnext to him. The first race, the owner wouldn't let him launch, but the disappointing results lead to the second race where he "tried" launching. It was a bad launch, but it pulled on me pretty good. It pulls nicely once it's rolling.

UEnvyMyStyle · 06-26-2002, 11:10 PM

umm can i hook up a blow off valve to a compressor, i want one, they sound so cool!

RedRacerX · 06-27-2002, 04:01 PM

Damn good quality vid I WANT MORE.

Were is a good website that has ALOT of videos of racing?

DudewithaLude · 06-27-2002, 07:05 PM

hrm....i'm thinking of setting one up

RedRacerX · 06-28-2002, 03:01 AM

Really that would be SOO Sweet.

BlckLude98 · 06-28-2002, 08:17 AM

A WRX with that setup should run mid 13's with a trap around a 100mph. There top end isn't that great but that AWD redline launch will kill most cars.

17 is the most a stock turbo can handle... that's really pushing it. I would recommend a 15 or 16 from what he has.

Mid to high 13s is about right.

i haven't mentioned this but in those races, my car had a noticeable cut in power after 6000-6500 rpms.

I think it has to do with something with running rich, combined with a bottle pressure under 800psi. I just got some 100 octane gas and will be going to the track today and trying out both the 50 and 60 shot to see what difference they make. I think i could have done better in those races
